Playing in West Indies has its own challenge, happy with the way things went, says Rohit after series win

"Siraj, I have been watching him closely. He's taken such a giant step. He has led this attack. I don't want anyone to lead the attack. I want everyone to lead when they are having the ball in their hand. You want the entire pace battery taking the responsibility," he said.

Rohit also lauded Mohammed Siraj, who was named man of the match, for his brilliant 5/60, saying that the pacer has taken such a giant step.

"Siraj, I have been watching him closely. He's taken such a giant step. He has led this attack. I don't want anyone to lead the attack. I want everyone to lead when they are having the ball in their hand. You want the entire pace battery taking the responsibility," he said.

Talking about India’s batting, the captain praised Ishan Kishan who scored his maiden Test fifty as well as Virat Kohli.

"You need guys like Ishan (Kishan). We wanted quick runs, we promoted him, he wasn't afraid. He was the first one to put his hand up. In Test matches, you need guys who stabilise the innings like what Virat (Kohli) did, he played superbly. You need a mixture of everything. We have depth, we have got variety. We are in the right place. It's about getting the job done," he said.

The 36-year-old Sharma also highlighted that he believes in getting better as a team.

"I always believe in getting better as a team. I said after the World Test Championship final as well. We've played consistent cricket. That's what we are looking at. We want to focus on all three aspects of the game. We need to be a good fielding unit. Bowlers - how they respond under pressure. What sort of mindset batters go in with under challenging conditions. That's what I am looking forward to," said Rohit.
